Editorial Reviews

"The value of Tourism and Animal Ethics is not that it is a unifying call to arms, but rather that it actively encourages debate and discussion about a topic that has gone largely without such meaningful dialog in tourism circles."

– Jonathan R. Hicks, Department of Recreation. Sport and Tourism. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

"This is excellent book about tourism and animals I highly recommend. A glance at the table of contents and index will show you how wide-ranging and important it is."

- Dr. Marc Bekoff (January 2016) University of Colorado.
